How we can get control back from the Internet giants
summary
NEC commits to ship a small router server device within six months that runs a full server stack so home routers host user data rather than the cloud. The plan pairs those boxes with a local Nextcloud instance per node to create a truly distributed network instead of today’s centralized clouds. The project claims this will flip privacy back to users, required seven hours to convince NEC leadership, and now needs developers to build apps and tooling.
